Frankie Valli was snapped in front of the Theatre Marquee for 'Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons on Broadway' celebrating the group's 50th Anniversary with their first ever concert at the Broadway Theatre in New York City.

Despite rumors that former on-screen loves Jennie Garth and Luke Perry have taken their longtime friendship to the next level, a source close to the actress insists it's simply not true and tells Us Weekly they're just good friends.

Earlier this week, the National Enquirer reported that the pair, both divorced (Perry called it quits with Minnie Sharp in 2003), reconnected at the shoot for their Old Navy commercial.

As multiple sources confirmed to Us in mid-August, Garth, 40 -- who split from her husband of 11 years, Peter Facinelli, in March -- is actually seeing photographer Noah Abrams. (The pair were spotted strolling hand-in-hand in L.A. August 14).

Since parting ways from Facinelli, Garth has been committed to moving forward. In May, she enjoyed a flirty dinner with HGTV star Antonio Bellatore in Las Vegas.

Says a friend of the actress, who debuted a seriously slimmed-down, sexy new bod last month, "She's happier than ever!"

The crew crashes a party on Phil's boss' (Todd Stashwick) luxurious yacht for a night of fun, while a very pregnant Eden goes into labor and Holly is forced to confront her worst fear. The new exciting finale is here.

At a Nassau County Press Conference with Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and Bruce Yamali of Dover Caterers, they introduced healthy eating vending machines at Long Island Schools. This seems to be the new wave out in my old stomping grounds Nassau County.

MARILYN MONROE IN LONG ISLAND!

A Tribute was held on the 50th Anniversary of Marilyn Monroes Death at Maliblue in Lido Beach, Long Island. Marilyn Monroe spent lots of time and summers on Long Island. Butch Yamali, President of the Dover Catering Group attended this event.

A candlelight vigil was held by fans and local residents on the famed beach. A special screening of "Candle in the Wind" took place to
commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the death of the movie goddess.
Marilyn Monroe look-a-likes adorned the event. Marilyn had visited Long
Island several times and spent many summers by the beach.

In 1949, a couple of years before her film career rose to meteoric
heights, Monroe was photographed at New York's Jones Beach posing in and
around the pool area.The Jones Beach shoot was one her most famous
photos of all time.

GODFATHER ON LONG ISLAND

Godfather movie star actor and Legend Gianni Russo celebrated the anniversary of the famous movie. The event was hosted by the Long Island Television and Film Foundation. The movie has many scenes that were filmed on Long Island. The movie is regarded as one of the most popular movies of all time.

The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly details Prince Harry’s nearly two weeks of epic partying starting at a billionaire-friend’s Necker Island home to a booze-fueled tear through Vegas!

On August 23, Prince Harry was summoned to Balmoral Castle to “face up to family” following his headline-grabbing weeks of debauchery, says a palace insider. Queen Elizabeth II made her naughty grandson sweat it out before seeing him. Father Prince Charles was also at the 50,000-acre summer residence in Scotland, ready to scold Harry. In Las Vegas, Harry, 27, gambled big, hitting the high of a 3 a.m. race with Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte and the low of losing at strip billiards. That last nonstop night of partying was laid bare when jaw-dropping photos surfaced of the naked prince showing all but the crown jewels. “The trip was like The Hangover,” says a royal source, “only without the monkey.”

The party spree got off to a glitzy start, with Harry and his pals jetting to Necker Island to toast pal Sam Branson’s 27th birthday over six boozy nights. The Vegas leg of his trip started on August 17, when Harry checked into Wynn and scored a private cabana at the hotel’s club Surrender. Friends recruited women to come back to a VIP suite, says a royal source. “There were at least 15 hot girls, and one of Harry’s friends decided they should play strip billiards, and Harry was eager.” Ever game, he picked a woman as an opponent, adds the insider, “with blondish hair, a nice face and body. Harry only had trunks, so he got naked first.” When she lost her clothes, “Harry tried to cover her up with his body. In the photos, he was trying to be a gentleman!”

Katy Perry

Robert Pattinson

The new issue of Us also reports that Katy Perry has set her sights on nice-guy pal Robert Pattinson! They are two of the biggest s t a r s on the planet, but Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson managed to go practically unnoticed at private West Hollywood club Soho House August 23. As the pair lingered over dinner, Perry hung on Pattinson’s every word, giggling like a coquettish schoolgirl. “I’m sure they were bonding over how bad this year has been for both of them,” says an insider. But Perry, who split from husband Russell Brand in December, is interested in more than just commiserating. Pals admit that soft- spoken Pat t inson and Santa Barbara– born Perry seem mismatched. The makeup-loving, vibrant girlie-girl “is the opposite of Kristen,” says the insider of the notoriously dark Stewart. “They’re friends and they have been through a lot,” says one pal. “It would be weird to see them start dating, but stranger things have happened!”

HOLLY MADISON PREGNANT

Holly Madison

Hugh Hefner

Exclusive to Us Weekly this week comes the news that Holly Madison is pregnant with her first child. The former Girls Next Door star and Playboy Playmate tells the new issue of Us Weekly that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend of nine months, party promoter Pasquale Rotella. "I've always wanted to be a mom," Madison tells Us. "But I thought it would take longer!" So far, the thrilled mom-to-be, who is now 12 weeks along, is feeling good in her pregnancy. "I've been lucky! No morning sickness, but I do get a little nauseous," the star of Las Vegas burlesque revue, Peepshow, says. "It happens before my show, so I keep ginger ale backstage."

KATE HUDSON: SHE THINKS LEA’S A DIVA!

Kate Hudson

Filming with LEA MICHELE hasn’t brought Kate Hudson any Glee. Midway through her six-episode arc as a dance teacher to Michele’s character on the Fox hit, Hudson, 33, has found her costar “a total diva,” an insider tells Hot Stuff. “Kate says Lea is a nightmare. Once, during a technical delay, Lea snapped her fingers and said, ‘Let’s go. I have plans!’ ” Between takes, Hudson (who debuts on the season 4 premiere September 13) hangs out with the whole cast — except Michele, 26. (Counters Michele’s rep, “Lea has had a great time with Kate.”) Adds the source, “Kate’s keeping her distance.”

MINKA BACK WITH EX

Minka Kelly

Rekindled romance! They dated briefly in 2007, and now Minka Kelly, 32, and Chris Evans, 31, are giving it another go. “She did a number on him back then,” a source tells Hot Stuff of Kelly, who was serious with Derek Jeter from 2008 to 2011. “But she reached out to Chris this time.” The pair hit Max and Dylans eatery in Boston August 18 and took in the musical The Book of Mormon in NYC August 24. Pals just hope Evans doesn’t get burned again. Says one, “He’s still a little insecure, so he’s being cautious.”

As summer winds down, many people are beginning to reflect on their summer romances. Was it a summer fling or the real thing? According to a survey conducted by Badoo, the world’s largest social network for meeting new people, more than 50% of men and women had a romance this summer that they considered a fling and 7 out of 10 people wanted their warm-weather liaison to become a long-term romance.

Additionally, Badoo asked women which of the summer’s hottest leading men they would most want a casual fling with vs. serious relationship. The survey results reveal which hot stars are fit for introducing to the family vs. a quick dance between the sheets:

· 4 out of 10 women admitted they would have a casual fling with Magic Mike hunk Channing Tatum; but when it comes to actually dating him, women were 20% less likely to actually consider him boyfriend material!

· Alternatively, twice as many women would prefer to have a lasting relationship with Dark Knight Rises and Premium Rush star Joseph Gordon Levitt than have a quick fling with the actor

· Actor Christian Bale ranks equal as both a fling and dating material – leading us to believe maybe women want a fling with Batman, but a serious relationship with Bruce Wayne

For this poll, Badoo surveyed over 2,000 men and women across the U.S., participants represented all age groups—from 18 to 39. Let us know if you have any questions or are interested in speaking with an expert.

Moss’s (punkplay, House of Gold) Billy Witch and Willy Russell’s (Educating Rita, Shirley Valentine) Blood Brothers. APAC is also fortunate to be working on a developmental piece with Grammy and Tony-award winning composer Galt MacDermot (Hair), Gone Tomoro. APAC’s performance venue is located at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, 30-44 Crescent St (@30th Rd) in Astoria, Queens.

“We’ve got a fascinating mix of work in store for APAC’s 12th season,” remarks an excited Artistic Director Tom Wojtunik. “With twisted sleepover camp fun in Gregory S. Moss’s Billy Witch, the haunting power of the musical Blood Brothers, and the chance to hear a new score in development from one of musical theatre’s most inspired composers, Galt MacDermot. My favorite thing about all of these pieces is how uniquely theatrical they each are—APAC audiences are in for a treat.”

In September APAC will be celebrating with the New York Innovative Theatre awards, first with their Caffe Cino Fellowship Award, which is presented to an Off-Off-Broadway theatre company that consistently produces outstanding work. This award also includes a grant to be used toward an Off-Off-Broadway production.

Dobay); Outstanding Sound Design (Nathan A. Roberts); Outstanding Premiere Production of a Play and yet another nomination for Outstanding Production of a Musical for The Secret Garden, an award they have won for Children of Eden.

Moss’s (punkplay, House of Gold) Billy Witch, choreographed by Wendy Seyb (B’way’s The Pee Wee Herman Show, Yeast Nation) and directed by Erik Pearson (Billy Witch, Studio 42). The play, which runs through November 17th, explores summer camp unlike anything you remember. At Blue Triangle Nature Fun Time Summer Camp lost campers wander into ghost stories and new-boy Oliver braves Consummation Station. But between the possessed pubescence of his fellow campers and the perhaps-too-perky counselors lurking behind any tree, will Oliver find the life-altering change he so desperately wants?
